    zx12r swing arm, extension?

    is there anyone in perth able to do/supply an extended swingarm, i know its as easy to just buy the bolt ons, but they look.... out of place, not real keen on sending my/spare swing arm to muzzys and back, only to get lost or damaged, any ideas, (im a boiler maker, but dont wanna be welding in that high stress area, hahah)

    Hey Arron, why dont you buy a second hand swingarm and have a go yourself mate..thats how most of us can build stuff is have a realy good look /measure/think and have a go if your a boily you should piss it in.just imagine how satisfied you will feel..and if you fuck it up..you still have your original arm ..good luck..if you need a s/hand arm just ring me at work.il make sure you get looked after..morry 93533772

    This mob sell GSXR,Busa and R1 swingarm extentions,they look ok,and they are fairly cheap at $369.
    You could ask to see if they can supply one for one for your ZX12?
    Give it a try,see if you like the ride,they're fairly adjustable,from 2in to 8in,and i guess you can get a feel for how long you'd like to go,and figure out your dimensions for the one you build yourself,then just offload them to someone else.

    I reckon the VFR has plenty enough stick!

    I was impressed when I rode the VFR800 and the exhaust note AAAHHHHH made it all so much better.

    it hasnt gotten any worse haha, i dunno hey, kinda maybe? i know its ment to make it run perfect and all that, but i wasnt like wow that was money well spent, its cool to play with on the computer and its got lots of prrreeeetttyyyy lights to look at, if ya give it a blip neutral its very responsive, but yeh, i think also, that servo thats playing up it an issue, pipe was little sooty befor i fitted pc, so yeh, fingers crossed its a weak battery, mack1 and shane recon it would be, on trickle charge now, trying ever so hard not to plaster the bike with K&N and PC stickers hahah.
